BertUI Instances: 1 CSV Lines of Code: 7 Icons Visible: 3/7

Textual Explanation: Top 4 icons are not completely visible. Have re-downloaded .zip and inserted .csv, same result.

End: I understand that the current download at your main site will soon be foresaken, however it is optimum for my intended usage. Any help is appreciated.

Update 1: The same issue happens if CSV Lines of Code are 10 or 11 whereas if 9 or 12, the software functions correctly except that the top edges are omitted (see attached pic.)

Could you please tell me what your screen's resolution is? Also, do you have any DPI scaling enabled?

The first issue certainly looks like a bug, whereas the second is a limitation at the moment - there is a minimum size the buttons will scale to, so too many buttons simply get cropped.

Will look in to solving both issues as soon as I have chance.

Laptop screen resolution is: 1366 x 768 HDTV: 39 inches

As for DPI, at the moment it is set to the default: 100%. The testing was done on 100%. However, I may increase it to better accommodate the minute desktop fonts when using the HDTV as the main display. If you recommend to keep DPI at 100%, I'll stick to your advice and look for another solution relating to larger but neat fonts.

Thanks for the extra info. Theoretically, DPI shouldn't have any effect BertUI, but I've done zero testing (hence the question)

If you do find more issues with non-default DPI settings, please do report them. XAML is supposed to handle scaling gracefully but I would not be surprised if it doesn't

As soon as I experiment with increased DPI, I'll post my experience on this thread.

While testing I tried using some autohotkey scripts to stretch BertUI to use the whole screen in hopes of restoring the cropped buttons. That simply did not happen. I now understand that the software implements a ratio/percentage relative to the screen's resolution.

I also tried another script to give the window the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons. That also did not happen. Its necessity was to relieve myself from right-clicking on the taskbar where BertUI is so as to close it for re-testing an amendment.

The last two paragraphs are just so you know I tried to cheat a way towards more comfort without waiting for a software update!

Have tested it again with 7 lines of csv code and the issue still remains.
